About this title
The POWER OF WOMEN chronicles a lifelong struggle that transcends the autobiographical genre. The novel’s heroine is the woman who embodies all these women. The author pays a true tribute to their courage and their struggle. For him, this is a global struggle: “It is you, women, who carry humanity.” Thus, through the story of a life dedicated to medicine and in a powerful call to action, Denis Mukwege confronts us with the scourge ravaging his country and invites us to rethink the world. *The Strength of Women* proclaims loud and clear that healing and hope are possible for all survivors.
